Because politics and circumstance.
Which implies that they do not care about "dictatorships".
I think that there are strong tendencies and actions towards democracies where convienent and possible.
Unfortunately the world is a messy place — ideological purity gets you no where.

While I also disagree with the parent, these facts are not in evidence.

That is a bit of a simplistic conclusion.
The hypocrisy is clear, but hypocrisy is not sufficient to prove that one does not care at all.
What is pretty clear is that the USA takes a strategic and occasionally very partisan view when making their choices of alliances as well as their use of power and force. I'm not sure they are very unique in this respect though.
Even if they genuinely cared about it, 90 percents of regimes worldwide are dictatorships or authoritarian regimes. So you can not work with anyone if you have very strong principles.
If the US cared about stopping "dictators", why are there so many dictators allies of the US?
